2014

I know i said this year will be a great Motorsports one, BMW has a new car and now Audi steps up the game with an improved RS5 as it follows improved aerodynamics package that includes new mirrors, side-mounted canards and revised rear wheel arches. The car has also been equipped with a honeycomb grille and new air ducts that feed the engine and the brakes.

The DTM regulations are very strict so there's no big changes, just some inter suspension adjustments and most of the other changes will be done before the race.

Time to spice things up, as BMW just released their track weapon for this year's DTM Season. It was expected that the new car would be based on the new M4 Coupe, but don't expect many resamblances other than the headlights and tails.

The racer weights as little as 1170kg and it's being powered by a NA V8 engine which develops 480HP and 500NM of torque, i believe this car flies. Transmission magic happens due to a 6speed sequential gearbox, with the help of 2 hydraulic flappy paddles.

Remember the Hennessey Venom GT that caught everyone's attention with its crazy fast speed? Well, as of now, it's officially the world's fastest car as it hits 270.49 mph at the Kennedy Space Center. The Venom GT beats the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport which held the previous title with a top speed of 268.86 mph.

Although, it is technically the world's fastest car, it can't receive the title since Gusiness Record requires the average speed from two runs. Since NASA only allowed Hennessey one run, the title was out of reach. The manufacturer also had to have a minimum of 30 cars and Hennessey stated that they will only produce 29 Venom GT's.

Audi steps up the "pocket rocket" game and unveils the anticipated S1. Based on the A1, it's being launched with 2 body styles, 3 door hatchback and 5 door sportback, being powered by a 2.0L TFSI engine, developing 231HP and 370Nm of torque, out of a shell which weights around 1000kg.

Thanks to the standard quattor, the sprint to 100km is done in 5.8s - the car can be optionally fitted with 18" wheels, 310mm brake disks, adaptive LED headlights and other goodies.

Mercedes has unveiled the Coupe based on the S-Klasse model. The CL-Class has been ruled out and here is the new coupe. It features a long engine hood, sloped roof line and big wheels - all characteristic to a coupe.

Overall lenght is 5027mm and a 1411mm height, that should be pleasing to the eye!

Everything you find inside the limousine, there's inside this coupe, with a sporty feeling, the same goes with the engines. For the start we'll have the S500 V8 and in the near future, Mercedes Benz promised the S63 AMG.

TechArt will be showcasing their new tuning package for the Porsche 911 Turbo at the 84th 2014 Geneva International Motor Show.

The TechArt program for the 911 Turbo will include the TechArt Power Kit TA 091/T1. No actual specifications have been released, but the kit will be based on the intelligent engine management system called Techtronic. This will provide much more power to the 3.8-liter 911 Turbo which already produces 520 HP (383 kW).

This doesn't look like a concept to us and we hope the production model, which will arrive later this year, will look the same.

The car is painted in a funky color named Bright Highways Grey, doubled with red accents. We can spot aggressive styling along the bodywork, there's also a boot spoiler and the car sits on 18" alloys - a true hot-hatchback.

Although tech specs weren't revealed, we expect a 2.0L gasoline unit, which develops around 220HP.

DMC Exotic Car Tuning, located in the German city of Duesseldorf, is well known in the industry for producing some high-quality tuned cars. Their latest modification is based on the Bentley Continental GT and it is dubbed as the "DURO", China Edition.

Are you a modernist but you also like the retro air and i mean air literally, then you might like this retro-inspired 911 Targa, which Porsche has prepared.

What's new, we can spot a new roof, which features a removable section and comes with a thick B-pillar as well as a fixed rear window.

Engine units will likely carry over from the fixed roof version so you will be able to choose from a 350 HP six-cylinder 3.4-liter and a 400 HP six-cylinder 3.8-liter in the Targa S version which can be seen in these official pics in the all-wheel drive 4S.
